The overarching question that you must answer when writing a business plan for investors is this: what's "in it" for the investor?
To accomplish this, you need to put yourself in the investor's shoes to think about what they care about.
What should be "in it" for them is the opportunity to invest in a business that has huge upside potential and low downside potential. With regards to low downside potential, I'm referring to a low risk of failure.
The specific 6 questions to answer in your business plan to accomplish these goals are below.
The first question is how big the business opportunity is, and is it growing? To answer this, you need to provide information on the size of the market in which you're competing and trends affecting the market.
The next question that you must answer for an investor has to do with the financial implications.
How much money are you asking the investor for?
What are the projected financial results? For example, what do you expect revenues will be in year one, in year three, in year five? What are expected net income in year one, year three, year five? Etc.
Your exit strategy is critical when writing a business plan for investors since the exit strategy dictates how the investor will ultimately receive payback for their investment and get their money out.
Consider this example. You start a company and you grow it to $5 billion in sales. If you keep that company private, then an equity investor may not have the ability to get their money out.
Who are the likely buyers of your company?
Why would they buy you? More specifically, why would they buy you versus possibly building a competing business or strengthening or growing their own business?
The next critical question to answer when writing your business plan for investors is who is on your management team and who will you add to your management team later?
This is key because most investors, or, at least, the smartest investors, are betting on the management team as much as they're betting on the market opportunity. You see, even if you have the greatest business idea in the world, if the management team can't execute on it, then the business will fail.
One of the great examples of this is the story of PayPal. PayPal was formed by great entrepreneurs including Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Max Levchin. Clearly PayPal had a great management team. However, the original PayPal concept which was to allow one PDA (Personal Digital Assistant like a Palm Pilot) to pay another PDA failed. It just didn't catch on.
But the management team was smart enough to recognize that they could use their technology to allow one person to pay another person or a company online and they basically launched a new service which is PayPal as we know it today. PayPal became a huge success that was sold to eBay for over $1 billion.
So that's why you need to answer in your business plan this key question: what is it about your management team that makes you qualified to execute on the business opportunity. Importantly, if you're currently missing people on your team, document the qualifications of people you plan to hire to fill such positions.
The more risk factors that you've already overcome, the better. And importantly, be sure to document each of these accomplishments in your business plan.
A final question to answer for investors is what are the barriers to entry. Specifically, once you start growing your company, what is there to prevent others individuals and companies from stealing your customers?
The more you can show barriers to entry, how once a customer comes to you they're probably going to stay for a long time, the better job you're going to do in convincing investors to fund you.
Remember: Answer What's "In It" For the Investor?
In summary, when writing a business plan for investors, be sure to answer the questions that help prove to the investor that your business that has huge upside potential and low downside potential.
How big is the business opportunity and is it growing?
What are the financial implications of investing in your company?
Who's on your management team?
What risk factors have you already overcome?
Answer these questions well, and funding will be yours.

If you are considering becoming pregnant, the time to clean up your body is BEFORE pregnancy, and this way, the baby can come into the world as clean on the inside as it is on the outside.
Toxins in the mother can, and will, penetrate the placenta, and toxins can, and will, circulate through the bloodstreams of both mother and child. If you are thinking about getting pregnant, have a hair analysis performed first, and if you need to detox heavy metals or other toxins from your body, detox for at least two months before you conceive. The hair analysis is the best way to tell if toxins are within your blood or body organs, and it will show what those toxins are.
In modern times, most adults have adjusted to various health stresses by simply adapting to them, by accepting that they have no choice but to "live" with them, and they mask the worst of their symptoms with pain relievers, sleep aids, and a plethora of mediations that place a band-aid on the real issue – what's causing these symptoms.
Before you pass toxins on to a fetus, remember that aluminum, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, platinum, uranium, nickel, silver, tin, copper, and titanium can be passed from mother to child in vitro.

A Dover driver has shown the worst possible way you can park on the High Street.
Spotted just outside JHL Accountants on the High Street in Dover, this white Audi covered half the pavement either side of the crossing.
The rear end of the motor sits just in front of the tactile paving, the little pumped part of pavement that lets blind people know they are coming up to a road.
The car is also facing the wrong way at the side of a one-way road, so moving it would be tricky and with the building blocking the driver's view, any attempt to reverse out is asking for trouble.
He or she might have found the pavement spot to be the most convenient location within walking distance, though there are free parking spots just across the street.
There are no blanket rules regarding parking on the pavement in most parts of the country, unlike London where it is explicitly banned.
However, the Highway Code does state: "Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs."
It also forbids parking in front of the entrance to a property.

Published by Viking in 1991 and issued as a paperback through Penguin Books in 1992, Snow White became an instant classic for both academic and general audiences interested in how women use humor and what others (men) think about funny women. Barreca, who draws on the work of scholars, writers, and comedians to illuminate a sharp critique of the gender-specific aspects of humor, provides laughs and provokes arguments as she shows how humor helps women break rules and occupy center stage. Barreca's new introduction provides a funny and fierce, up-to-the-minute account of the fate of women's humor over the past twenty years, mapping what has changed in our culture—and questioning what hasn't.
GINA BARRECA, professor of English and feminist theory at the University of Connecticut, is the author or editor of over twenty books, including Make Mine a Double: Why Women Like Us Like to Drink (or Not).


To my amazement, this lasted me a super long time! Should not have been so greedy to purchase 2 tubes extra. Still my favourite budget concealer so far.
I paused this to try out another skincare for a while but once I'm done with that, I'm going back to this. My skin misses the moisture already!
So-so. Didn't feel the 'intensive repair'. For the price, I'll rather get something else. If you love the smell of Dove body wash, you'll love the smell of this though.
Sorta like the shampoo but it's a decent conditioner.
The first one I finished! Repurchased cos I simply love the applicator. Don't attempt to use drying glue cos I did and it wasn't as sticky as before and my falsies came off earlier =( I've heard of some girls getting sensitive towards falsies glue and they recommended the Empro one. Glad I stumbled upon that conversation so I know what alternative to get if my eye ever gets irritated by falsies glue.
Omg I've had these for so long, I should really finish them already. Still doesn't dry out my skin like other 'clay masks' but I'm concentrating on moisturizing my skin now so I won't be repurchasing now.
First sleeping mask I tried and I love it! It makes my skin so smooth, soft and supple the next morning. It is a little sticky though so take care to use only a tiny bit. It's priced at RM 60+ but I think it's a worthy investment cos I do see results.


50 days. Open Pollinated. Heirloom. Who doesn't love crookneck squash? It's tasty, productive, and so warty! This strain is extra early and stays in a compact bush form, but retains the classic shape, bright yellow color, and delicate flavor. Crooknecks are neither disease nor pest resistant, so if you struggle with either in your garden consider growing Lemon Squash instead.

Isaiah 3:10-15 Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their actions. Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, for what he deserves will be done to him. O My people! Their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your paths. The LORD arises to contend, and stands to judge the people. The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses. "What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.
Judgment in the Bible is noted with individuals and with nations. In verses 10-11, the discussion is regarding the individual. In verses 13-15, the issue is with God's people, Israel. In verse 12, God points out Israel chose human rule instead of the divine. Human rule (children and women) led to destruction, confusion, raiding the poor, and poverty. Note within these verses 12-15. The leadership plundered the poor; the result was poverty. "You get what you deserve".
There are two groups of people in the verses above, the righteous and the wicked. The concept of "you get what you deserve" is noted in the New Testament as well in Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. The Bible is consistent with this notion from beginning to end. This ultimately contrasts two groups of people, believers in Christ and those who are not.
How many times has it been stated by the moral man, "I am basically a good person, I help the poor, I haven't murdered anybody." These folks proclaim they are not in need of a savior. Atheists will be stunned when they realize there is something and it is the Trinity. Regardless of what they think or believe, judgment will ultimately occur. The scene is the great white throne of judgment. It is the judgment of those who do not believe Christ died for their sin. Revelation 20:13 …and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. The Bible really says if you do not believe Jesus died for sin that you will go to Hell (Revelation 20:14). There is good news. Jesus' death on the cross is the payment for sin. His resurrection validates that He has power of death. Death is the penalty for sin. Jesus is the payment for and the power over sin.

Elizabeth Shoumatoff
Shoumatoff was born in Kharkov, Ukraine, the daughter of a Russian general. Privately educated, she developed an interest in painting. In 1917, she came to the United States with her husband on a mission for the Russian government; they decided to remain after the Bolshevik Revolution, which occurred in October of that year. Upon her husband's death, she began to paint professionally, primarily as a watercolorist.
Among her more than 3,000 portraits, Shoumatoff's sitters included the du Ponts, Fricks, Mellons, and other influential people of the twentieth century. However, it was a session with President Franklin D. Roosevelt that proved to be her most momentous. Shoumatoff was painting the president at his retreat in Warm Springs, Georgia when he collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945, from which he never regained consciousness. FDR's Unfinished Portrait, as the painting, and Shoumatoff's memoir, came to be known, currently resides at the Little White House, where FDR died. Shoumatoff also painted President Lyndon B. Johnson, Lady Bird Johnson, and the Grand Ducal family of Luxembourg.

I asked partly out of curiosity but mainly because I have so many amazing people in my life that I look up to and thought this was a perfect opportunity to learn from them.
So, here it is. 20 Life Philosophies!
Work everyday. Then, there is no time to feel worried or have sorrow. Work and your job becomes your biggest supporter. I work everyday and I think that makes me happy.
Have more than one source of happiness. Have many hobbies. Music, reading, entertainment- things you can lean on. Looking at it in an analytical way: not only does this thing make me happy, but does it contribute to my life? For example: playing guitar versus watching Netflix. Playing the guitar feels more rewarding because many things that feel rewarding require more work, but they are more worth it.
Have low expectations. Don't let life disappoint you. So if your car breaks down or your friend shows up late, it doesn't matter.
Try to live more in the moment. Easier said than done but really just focusing on the now.
Connecting with others is a really good source of happiness. I call my friends on commutes. Listening to stories makes me feel connected.
Simplicity. The best sushi is just fish on rice. It's about the quality.
I believe that happiness is not success related. In America, success is so rooted in happiness. Success is a biproduct of mindset.
Internal happiness through reflection. Journaling, meditation, walking.
Understanding the nature of human beings and how the world works is important too. Not everything is good. You can still do things to want to change the world for the better, but it is nothing you should distress over. You can understand why the world is the way it is, and try not to add to it (like pollution), but it's human nature. You're always going to meet mean people, but realize that's how they were raised and it's not inherently their fault. Doesn't mean you should spend time with them but don't judge them.
I feel like my philosophy is kindness. So many people are so harsh with each other. Be good to the people around you. You never know what people are going through. We should all look out for each other. There's so much hardship in the world like natural disasters and you never know who's connected to what. Wealthier people have so many things they could do to better the world, but it usually ends up being the people who go through stuff who are the ones that give the most. For example, someone I was donating stuff to asked me if there were other people I could give to and handed me back some of the boxes I gave to them.
Approach every situation and person with a clean slate. You don't know what to expect. Everyone's experience in life is different.
Find out who you are. It's a long journey. It took me a few years to discover who I am, but I base my actions off of being a strong woman.
Always choose to work where there are people who will inspire you and that you know will make you a better person for knowing them.
I've followed this rule since the day I left college and it has led to a career I have just loved and am incredibly grateful for.
Another one I value is: Don't be afraid to be the novice and to ask for help. It's liberating to learn from others rather than compete with them to be right.
And finally: When meeting new people, always ask them questions and show interest in them. People are typically flattered and will have a very good impression of you subconsciously as you made them feel so good. A bit sneaky but a good rule of thumb that gives you a simple and harmless advantage!
Do everything in life with joy and goodness from your heart. I think the most important thing to me is to do good and be happy while I live. I want to live with a lust for life, sprinkling positivity glitter everywhere I go and I want to be pure in my intentions- showing passion, compassion, and all of the kindness I can muster.
So, I know this sounds cliche, but my philosophy is "Live Your Best Life." Essentially what this means to me is that you're going to go through life doing what you think is best for you in the moment. What makes you happy at that point in time. Will it be best for you 50 years from now? Who knows. But, you're always one decision away from a completely different life. So, live your best life.
I would say everything should be guided by mutual respect, so acting in ways that respect yourself and make you feel empowered but also making sure that your actions are respectful of those around you and that you honor other people's differences and life experiences. I think making big life decisions or even just every day interactions with people benefit from making sure it's mutually respectful.
For me, goals are important and achieving them are also very important to me. It brings me happiness in a way that's different from going out or all of that. I feel like my hard work got me there.
Never stop evolving even though you know you're blessed. There is always room to be a better person and impact people's lives in a positive way, no matter where you're at in life!
Taking time to relax and recharge opens us up to more joy and meaning in life.
I always try to go into situations with an open-mind and realizing that you are not always right. I know that everyone on this earth has a different mindset and approach towards how they want to live their lives. We each have different identities and cultures and we need to respect that about each other and not shut down other's ideas right away. We need to make sure we hear them out and think radically about what they are saying.
I love the quote that goes, "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." —Stephen R. Covey. But I truly think if we approach situations like this with an intent to understand and work together to fix problems, the world would be a lot better off in the future.
Don't stress too much about things. Live in the moment.
Don't be afraid to be yourself because that's the only way you can be truly happy. Don't care about what other people think. Treat everyone as kindly as you can because you never know when you will need them. You may have to depend on them some day. Treat everyone equally.
Work hard but never forget to have fun. Create fun memories! As I get older, I realize more and more how important it is to have fun.
Let things go that don't matter! Don't let things get to you, life goes so fast. Remember to have fun and make memories. Stay in touch with friends, go out, do things you don't normally do. Remember, you are only as old as you feel!
I'd say mine is to love unconditionally. It doesn't mean that you let people walk all over you, like boundaries need to be in place for healthy relationships, but loving people as they are and where they are is extremely healing not just for them but for myself too. I want to pour into people so that they're not alone!
Don't invest 5 minutes if you're not willing to invest 5 years. And work hard in silence, and let your success be the noise.
HUGE Thank you to everyone who shared their philosophy and to everyone who is reading. I hope these resonated with you as much as they did with me. I also want to take this chance to say how lucky I am to be surrounded with people who have such positive and thoughtful philosophies. Happy Sunday!

I spent some days in Majorca in August 2000. Most flag displays included the flags of Spain, the European Union and the Balearic Islands. The latter was frequently shown in two variants, one with the canton measuring half the hoist, as above, the other occupying only the first four pallets, thus measuring 4/9ths of the hoist. This is probably an incorrect variant. It is difficult to say, but I believe both variants had the same proportions for the canton as for the flag, meaning that the canton's length would be half the flag's in the first one and 4/9ths in the second. In any case, at least the canton of the second (incorrect?) variant was certainly smaller than half the flag's length.
No flag was ever adopted or used.


Before doing this,let me say what are sitemaps and how they will help us.The reason we use them is,they will help google bot to crawl,index pages of your site and tell you if there are any problems when they try to index it.It also helps you to know,how many pages exactly are indexed,and what people searched in the search engine to visit your site.
Let me explain the detailed procedure on how to submit your blogger sitemap to google.
1.First,go to google webmaster tools and sign in with your gmail account.
2.After you logged in, you will see this asking you to add a site.
Add your blog url(ex:kranthitips.blogspot.com).Don't add with http or www.
3.Next,it asks you to verify your site.It is just to confirm whether you are the owner or not.
CLICK on the 'verify your site' link.
4.There are two ways to verify your ownership but, there is only one way for the blogger users to add a metatag.
Now,sign into your blogger account>click the layout button>Edit html and paste the metatag just after the head tag and save the changes.
and click the verify button in the google webmaster tools and there will be a confirmation message saying that you have sucessfully verified.
and click the 'Add General Web Sitemap' button.
can blogs with "Blogger: Content Warning" be indexed/veryfied at all??
Hi, great detailed explanation on how to do this with Blogspot. I'm wondering if you know of some sort of issue with feedburner re-direct and the sitemap? It seems that not all of my pages are being indexed by Google. Very strange.
Don't type www.yourblogname.blogspot.com in the Google Webmaster tools dashboard.
You just have to type "yourblogname.blogspot.com"(excluding www) and click on ADD SITE.
and your blog is not linked to giantsnfl.blogspot.com .
In short words,"If you sign into blogger,your email address will appear on the navbar of each and every blog you visit.
Ok- so yeah I'm a newby too and I appreciate the tips about the sitemap stuff. However, what is the difference between an 'atom' and 'rss' file to begin with and is one better than the other?
I am a new blogger and technically challenged. I was able to follow your step-by-step process and was able to submit my site map to Google. Thanks!!
sitemap to Google. When I first created my blog, the name I gave it was giantsnflblog.com. Later,in the publishing section, I placed the following name nygmennfl.blogspot.com in the blogspot address field. I like the name nygmennfl for my site.
the site. I do not know how to fix this. If you google my site, with key words such as New York Football Giants, NYGmen, New York Giants, their search engine does not pick up my site. I noticed articles I have wriiten on other sites are picked up. Please help me here. I would like to have this corrected.
great tips. although the report is error cause i redirect my feed to other feed generator, google still find my last update.
I tried to follow the steps, but adding the sitemap failed: as I'm blind, I saved the page about this tip as an txt-file, and tried to follow the steps as you described. But when I typed the url of the sitemap in the field, I got a message I typed the url of a file that isn't on that page. But I never found a sitemap file available for download or don't know how to create it. I used the link example.blogspot.com/atom.xml and example.blogspot.com/atom.xml, but with the same result.
Could you please contact me with your help on katty dot geltmeyer ad safe-mail dot net ? I also have a question concerning adding an alt tag to my photograph on the blog, I don't know where to add the required html-code. In the template? Or anywhere else? How to do that?
I tried to follow the steps, but adding the sitemap failed.
Please help! Please email me mazda113(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanks!
Hi I like your style of explaining with images, etc.
My question is: how do I know if I did it right? My site hasn't shown up in Google yet even though it has only been 2 days. Is there a way to know if I have done it correctly/registered correctly and added the right HTML's?
I am totally new at this ur posts are helping me a lot. Thanx a ton.
For those of you having issues with feedburner; use (feeds/posts/default?redirect=false) instead of the typcial atom.xml or rss.xml. Google accepts it and properly index's everything!
Which template are you using..??
Sometimes the problem is with your template too..
I visited your blog and found that you didn't added the Google Verification Meta tag. If you didn't verify your ownership in Google webmaster tools, how can you add the sitemap ??
Pls, read the article carefully and completely and try once again.
This is really awesomely written.
Step by step is definitely useful for newbies.
However there is a bug :) in your post.
Please change the google webmaster tools link target url from "http://www.blogger.com/www.google.com/webmasters/tools/" to "http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/"
I am getting this warning when I submitted my blog to Google Webmasters.
Too many tags describing this tag. Please fix it and resubmit.
Does this warning prevent google crawlers from entering into my blog?
Is this warning really a problem?
There is a simple solution to this..
Just delete your present feed and add the feed url like this next time.
and you have to pay some $$ for that.After that,you have to redirect username.blogspot.com to username.com from that registate service Control panel.
Really Really Helpful, Thank You! I;ve added a link to this on my blog (http://discovery4x4.blogspot.com) due to the fact I think It's really Helpfull.
Thanks a lot. I have been able to add the sitemap finally.
I am not able to find out what I should put and how to findit out ?http://myblog.blogspot.com.what?

thanks buddy,my year long journey to solve the problem at least it si solved.tahnks a ton.
what is the different between putting 'www' or instead just USERNAME.BLOGSPOT.COM? I mean, related to google crawl or pagerank?
Thanks for the info. Much appreciate.
highly man. Your niche is very competitive!
great! i finally got it! thanks!
Thanks a Ton..your step-by-step guide was very useful.
Thanks i have no question it works perfectly.You are kind.
I submited My url but google reported problem after 24hours.
At first i too scratched my head to find "HTTP error : 404 not found" whether i give atom.xml or rss.xml or others..
and i added meta tag for http://www.justnareshwb.blogspot.com and trying to add sitemap to it.. I really dont know how both are automatically added to dashboard.
So i added metatag for justnareshbw.blogspot.com and then tried to add sitemap by atom.xml and it was successful.
So guys please check if ur doing it for a wrong URL as both URL (one with WWW and one without ) will be added to ur dashboard automatically.
Done! :) thanks!! Please keep posting!
I like relation blog related community.
ok... done with this... next tips!!
thank you so much for helping me! you have a very nice guideline especially for beginners like me! thanks again!
When I paste a code to add something to my sidebar, what ever it is that I am trying to ad isn't centered on my sidebar. How can I get all things to appear centered down my sidebar.
I am new your site, my friend just introduced me last night. I am loving it so far and can't wait to explore around it. Thank you so much.
Ha! I actually figured it out myself by looking at the coding of other stuff on my blog. Anyways, I am going to explore your site and I can't wait to see what I can learn.
anyway, can you give a tutorial on how to customize our default comment page?
I really like your commenting proccess.
Well I've found this site very helpful and managed to do everything and after a few days of really enjoying my new blog I noticed google stopped indexing my posts. So I changes the rss.xml to rss.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100 and that works but now I get 404 not found. Is that because I now have to wait until the sitemap is processed? I am wondering if its really processing or just stuck that way because when I only submitted rss.xml it was processed very fast.
i have done all that you have told but could not upload xml file on my account.so can you please tell me how can i upload xml file on blogspot.com in my profile?
omg. i never would have thought it was so easy...thx!
Note: If you are using Blogger and has recently directed your feed to FeedBurner, make sure you change your sitemap URL in Google Sitemaps to http://yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml?orderby=updated instead of just http://yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml otherwise an error would occur in Google Sitemaps.
We've detected that your verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header.
I tried to add meta tag and couldn't get through your step.5.
I've copied the verification code which started with meta name="verify-v1" content="xxxxxx="
Why did it swap between meta name and content after saving the template? Is this why google cannot verify my blog? How do I stop it from swapping around?
So I copied and pasted the tag and in was like meta name="verify-v1" Content="string"
So now what? It wont verify that way and I keep trying to change it and it wont stay the first way.
And I don't have correct words to proud you.
Thanks. And I have someone doubts about Google ad sense and creating blogger.
How to I approach you.
Plz advice how can i add keywords in metatag?
I've been trying to figure this out for a long time! Thanks it was quick and easy for all of my blogs. Who knew it wasn't as complicated as is seemed.
When i submit my blogger blog to google after some time my most of the files got blocked by robot.txt...what can i do to unblock my content of my blog.
Don't worry mate, it is common for all blogger users. Google don't crawl Blogger label pages.
When i submitted my blog to google they shows that 5 URL's are restricted by robots will be there any problem due to this.
thats y i am visiting daily to this site thanks. but when i site map it is telling that ur account is pending y man..?
I get following error. Please advise how can I fix it. I really appreciate your help.
"This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location."
I'm having trouble submitting my sitemap. I receive the 404 error. Can you help?
I'm having trouble submitting the sitemap. I added the meta tag, verified the site, added the code but clearly I've done something wrong. Help Please!!
tell me difference between atom and rss?
Thanks for this information. Its very helpful.
at my webmaster tools ti says that my blog support a MRSS Feed. how do I add a sitemap for MRSS Feed?
What will I do now? Please help me.
I think many of us got this error.
Thanks a lot, may Allah bless you.
Thanks a lot. My blog appeared in google search, but if I enter the URL of my blog, google does not search it. It searchs it by title of blog. What is the problem?
Hi,i have submitted my sitemap as u instructed here in ur blog,after 2 days i checked webmaster tool page,it says Error in ur page.
Please help me on this,and say how to add metatags to all single posts.
thanks for the tutorial buddy..i already did what you instructed and applied it to my blog ( http://koreasbest.blogspot.com )and i've got no errors up to this time.. hope it will works..
i like ur artikel very easy to understand!
especially a newbie like me..
Hi! I erroneously indexed my site in Google WITH WWW but I already changed it to one WITHOUT WWW. The Google acknowledged it but they recommend for a 301 redirect. Can you help me with this? Thanks!
Hi,In webmaster tools >>>Content analysis page in the Meta description issues there is a link that is showing 24pages Duplicate meta descriptions what this means.?
Thanks for the info on this topic. Do you know how many times I tried (prior to now) to do this and nothing worked.
Hi, I was just wondering what the difference is between rss and atom?
And can you put blogs there such as livejournal blogs as well?
Great work indeed. I am a newcomer & learning.
By following your instruction I could successfully add my site to Google webmaster as well as I submitted my site's sitemap to Google.
wow realy great post kranthik can i know where ur from ? means country=?, state=? & city=?
hello Kranti i followed all your seo tip but even my blog is not appearing in search engine my blog i submitted my blog to google 2days ago even my blog is not displaying pls help .. whether there is any problem with that template...???
I'm new here, What can I call u?
What a huge help! Thank you so much!
I have a qusetion.If I want to submit my site to yahoo and google, that's mean I have to put two meta tag?Am I correct?So far almost 2 weeks I add these meta tag, but my site still not index.What is the cause to this problem?Is it because I put two meta tag?
Thanx kranthi !! it works !!!!
for a while, i've been wondering what to submit on sitemap.Thanks for the tip!
Hi Buddy! I tried this procedure, but i failed at verifying step. error is VERRIFICATION STATUS: Not Verified, We've detected that your verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header.
it seems that doing this will only allow me to submit 24 urls. Is there a workaround to submit all the posts (around 600) in my blogspot?
and i hope it will work.
hello - can you help?
i've entered all my blogs and websites with the www. included. does this matter? do I need to re-do them all without the www?
and - what difference does it make with or without it?


text:
In der Geometrie und in der Linearen Algebra, Teilgebieten der Mathematik, ist eine affine Abbildung oder Affinität (auch affine Transformation genannt, insbesondere bei einer bijektiven affinen Abbildung) eine Abbildung zwischen zwei affinen Räumen, bei der Kollinearität, Parallelität und Teilverhältnisse bewahrt bleiben oder gegenstandslos werden. Präziser formuliert:
 Die Bilder von Punkten, die auf einer Geraden liegen (d. h. kollinear sind), liegen wieder auf einer Geraden (Invarianz der Kollinearität). Dabei können auch alle – aber dann alle und nicht nur einige – Punkte einer Geraden auf einen Punkt abgebildet werden.
 Die Bilder zweier paralleler Geraden sind parallel, wenn keine der beiden Geraden auf einen Punkt abgebildet wird.
 Drei verschiedene Punkte, die auf einer Geraden liegen (kollineare Punkte), werden so abgebildet, dass das Teilverhältnis ihrer Bildpunkte mit dem der Urbildpunkte übereinstimmt – es sei denn, alle drei werden auf denselben Bildpunkt abgebildet.

Eine bijektive affine Abbildung eines affinen Raumes auf sich selbst wird Affinität genannt.

In der Schulmathematik und manchen Anwendungsgebieten (zum Beispiel in der Statistik, siehe unten) werden spezielle affine Abbildungen auch lineare Abbildung oder lineare Funktion genannt. Im allgemeinen mathematischen Sprachgebrauch ist eine lineare Abbildung jedoch ein Homomorphismus von Vektorräumen.

Definition
Eine Abbildung  zwischen affinen Räumen  und  heißt affine Abbildung, wenn es eine lineare Abbildung  zwischen den zugehörigen Vektorräumen gibt, so dass

für alle Punkte  gilt. Dabei bezeichnen  und  die Verbindungsvektoren der Urbild- bzw. der Bildpunkte.

In dem wichtigen Anwendungsfall, dass  und  gilt, ist eine Abbildung  bereits dann eine affine Abbildung, wenn es eine lineare Abbildung  gibt mit

für alle  in . In diesem Fall entsteht eine affine Abbildung also durch eine Translation einer linearen Abbildung mit dem Bild  des Nullpunkts.

Eigenschaften
 Die affine Abbildung  aus der Definition ist durch  eindeutig bestimmt. Sie wird im Folgenden mit  bezeichnet.
 Eine Abbildung  ist genau dann affin, wenn es ein  gibt, sodass die Abbildung

 linear ist.
 Sind  und  sowie eine lineare Abbildung  vorgegeben, so gibt es genau eine affine Abbildung  mit  und .
 Eine affine Abbildung  ist genau dann bijektiv, wenn  bijektiv ist. In diesem Fall ist die Umkehrabbildung  ebenfalls affin und es gilt .
 Ist  ein weiterer affiner Raum und sind ,  affin, dann ist auch  affin und es gilt .

Koordinatendarstellung

Dieser Abschnitt befasst sich mit affinen Abbildungen zwischen endlichdimensionalen affinen Räumen.

Affine Koordinaten
Wenn sowohl im Urbildraum  als auch im Bildraum  ein affines Koordinatensystem fest gewählt worden ist, dann setzt sich bezüglich dieses Koordinatensystems eine affine Abbildung aus einer linearen Transformation und einer Parallelverschiebung zusammen. Die lineare Transformation lässt sich dann als Matrix-Vektor-Produkt schreiben und die affine Transformation  ergibt sich aus der Matrix  (der Abbildungsmatrix) und dem Verschiebungsvektor :

Die Koordinatenvektoren  und  sind in dieser Schreibweise Spaltenvektoren und stellen die affinen Koordinaten der Ortsvektoren eines Urbildpunktes bzw. eines Bildpunktes dar. Die Anzahl der Zeilen der Matrix  ist gleich der Dimension des Raumes , in den abgebildet wird (Wertevorrat), die Anzahl ihrer Spalten ist gleich der Dimension des abgebildeten Raumes .

Die Dimension des Bildraumes  der affinen Abbildung ist gleich dem Rang der Abbildungsmatrix .

Bei einer affinen Selbstabbildung eines affinen Raumes wird nur ein affines Koordinatensystem gewählt, die Koordinatenvektoren  und  beziehen sich also auf dasselbe Koordinatensystem, die Abbildungsmatrix  ist quadratisch, d. h. ihre Zeilen- und Spaltenzahl ist gleich. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es üblich, den affinen Raum mit dem zugehörigen Vektorraum der Verschiebungen zu identifizieren. In diesem Sinn umfassen die affinen Selbstabbildungen alle linearen Abbildungen (mit ) und ergänzen diese um einen Translationsanteil.

Eine affine Selbstabbildung ist genau dann eine Affinität, wenn die Determinante der Abbildungsmatrix  ungleich 0 ist.

Homogene Koordinaten und Erweiterte Abbildungsmatrix

Wählt man zur Darstellung sowohl im Urbildraum  als auch im Bildraum  homogene affine Koordinaten, dann lässt sich der Verschiebungsvektor  mit der Abbildungsmatrix  zu einer erweiterten Abbildungsmatrix  zusammenfassen:
 dabei ist  der transponierte Nullvektor im Vektorraum, der zu  gehört.
Die Abbildungsgleichung lautet dann für homogene Koordinatenvektoren
.
Bei dieser Darstellung der erweiterten Matrix wird als homogenisierende Koordinate eine zusätzliche Koordinate  an den Spaltenvektor  angefügt:
.
Diese Darstellung durch homogene Koordinaten kann als eine Einbettung des affinen Raumes in einen projektiven Raum der gleichen Dimension interpretiert werden. Dann sind die homogenen Koordinaten als projektive Koordinaten zu verstehen.

Klassifikation der ebenen Affinitäten
Affinitäten werden generell zunächst danach unterschieden, wie viele Fixpunkte sie haben. Dies gilt auch, wenn der affine Raum mehr als zwei Dimensionen hat. Ein Punkt ist Fixpunkt, wenn er durch die Affinität auf sich selbst abgebildet wird. In der Koordinatendarstellung kann man den Koordinatenvektor  eines Fixpunkts bestimmen, indem man das Gleichungssystem  löst. Man beachte, dass auch für  Fixpunkte existieren können!

 Achsenaffinität: Eine ebene Affinität, bei der genau eine Gerade punktweise fix bleibt, sie wird Achse der Affinität genannt. Dazu zählen die Scherung, Schrägspiegelung (speziell die senkrechte Achsenspiegelung) und die Parallelstreckung.
 Affinität mit einem Zentrum (Zentrale Affinität): eine Affinität, bei der genau ein Punkt fix bleibt, das Zentrum  der Affinität. Dazu zählen die Drehstreckung (mit den Spezialfällen zentrische Streckung, Drehung und Punktspiegelung), die Scherstreckung und die Euleraffinität.
 Affinitäten ohne Fixpunkt: Das sind die reinen Verschiebungen und Hintereinanderausführungen einer Achsenaffinität und einer Verschiebung (Scherung mit Verschiebung in eine von der Achsrichtung verschiedene Richtung oder Parallelstreckung/Schrägspiegelung mit einer Verschiebung in Richtung der Achse).

Ausführlicher und verallgemeinert auf höhere Dimensionen wird die Klassifikation im Hauptartikel Affinität (Mathematik) dargestellt.

Normalform der Koordinatendarstellung für ebene Affinitäten
Eine ebene Affinität wird auf Normalform gebracht, indem man für ihre Koordinatendarstellung eine geeignete affine Punktbasis wählt. Dazu wird, wo immer das möglich ist, der Ursprung des Koordinatensystems in einen Fixpunkt und die Achsen des Koordinatensystems in Richtung von Fixgeraden gelegt. Die folgenden Normalformen gelten für Affinitäten in der reellen affinen Ebene. Im Falle einer fixpunktfreien Affinität ist außer der Abbildungsmatrix  noch ein Verschiebungsvektor  zur Beschreibung der Affinität nötig.
Achsenaffinitäten (Fixpunkt ist neben dem Ursprung  jeweils der erste Basispunkt ):
Scherung
Schrägspiegelung
Parallelstreckung
Zentrale Affinitäten (Fixpunkt ist der Ursprung, als Koordinatenachsen werden womöglich die Richtungen der Eigenvektoren der Matrix  gewählt.)
Drehstreckung  dabei ist  der Streckfaktor und  der Drehwinkel,
Scherstreckung
Euleraffinität

Diese Klassifikation der Affinitäten gilt auch allgemeiner bei einer affinen Ebene zum Vektorraum , wenn  ein euklidischer Teilkörper der reellen Zahlen ist. Dabei gilt dann für die Matrixeinträge zusätzlich: . Bei Drehstreckungen ist im Allgemeinen – auch wenn die Ebene eine euklidische Ebene mit Bogenmaß ist – das Winkelmaß  selbst kein Körperelement.

Spezialfälle
 Eine affine Abbildung eines Raumes in sich selbst wird als affine Selbstabbildung bezeichnet. Ist diese Selbstabbildung bijektiv (umkehrbar eindeutig), heißt sie Affinität.
 Eine Affinität, bei der jede Gerade zu ihrer Bildgeraden parallel ist, heißt Dilatation oder Homothetie. Die Parallelverschiebungen sind spezielle Homothetien.
 Eine affine Selbstabbildung, bei der der euklidische Abstand von Punkten erhalten bleibt, heißt Bewegung oder, insbesondere im ebenen Fall, Kongruenzabbildung, solche Bewegungen sind notwendig bijektiv, also Affinitäten.
 Wichtige affine Selbstabbildungen, die nicht bijektiv sind, sind die Parallelprojektionen, bei denen der affine Raum  auf einen echten Teilraum  abgebildet wird und die Einschränkung auf  die Identische Abbildung ist.
 Eine affine Abbildung eines affinen Raumes in den Grundkörper dieses Raumes, der dabei als eindimensionaler affiner Raum über sich aufgefasst wird, bezeichnet man gelegentlich als affine Funktion.

Anwendungen

Graphische Anwendungen, Computergraphik
Affine Abbildungen kommen z. B. in der Kartografie und der Bildbearbeitung zur Anwendung.
 Affine Abbildungen, die häufig zum Beispiel in der Robotik oder Computergrafik Anwendung finden, sind Drehung (Rotation), Spiegelung, Skalierung (Veränderung des Maßstabs), Scherung und Verschiebung (Translation). Alle genannten Abbildungen sind bijektiv.
 Wenn dreidimensionale Körper zeichnerisch oder graphisch – also in zwei Dimensionen – dargestellt werden sollen, werden nichtbijektive affine Abbildungen benötigt.
Hierzu gehört die Parallelprojektion mit den Parallelrissen (Grundriss, Aufriss, Kreuzriss; → siehe Normalprojektion) als Spezialfällen.
 Die Zentralprojektion ist im Allgemeinen keine affine Abbildung. Sie gehört zu den Projektiven Abbildungen, einer Verallgemeinerung der affinen Abbildungen.
 Daneben gibt es weitere graphische Darstellungen, denen keine affine Abbildung zugrunde liegt, zum Beispiel für Landkarten die Mercator-Projektionen.
 Bei der standardisierten Beschreibung von Vektorgrafiken werden ebenfalls affine Abbildungen eingesetzt (zum Beispiel im SVG-Format).

Lineare Transformation in der Statistik
Als lineare Transformation werden affine Abbildungen beispielsweise in den statistischen Methoden eingesetzt.

Verteilungsparameter einer Zufallsvariablen
Betrachtet wird eine Zufallsvariable  mit dem Erwartungswert  und der Varianz . Es wird eine neue Zufallsvariable gebildet, die eine lineare Transformation von  ist,

wobei  und  reelle Zahlen sind.

Die neue Zufallsvariable  hat dann den Erwartungswert

und die Varianz

Speziell gilt: Ist  normalverteilt, so ist auch  normalverteilt mit den obigen Parametern.

Beispiel
Sei  eine Zufallsvariable mit positiver Varianz. Nützlich ist dann eine lineare Transformation

denn nun ist  mit  und  eine sogenannte standardisierte Zufallsvariable.

Verteilungsparameter mehrerer gemeinsam verteilter Zufallsvariablen

Betrachtet werden  viele Zufallsvariablen , . Man fasst diese Zufallsvariablen im Zufallsvektor  zusammen. Die Erwartungswerte werden im Erwartungswertvektor  und die Varianzen und Kovarianzen in der Kovarianzmatrix  aufgeführt. Es wird ein Zufallsvektor  gebildet, der eine lineare Transformation von  ist,

wobei  ein -dimensionaler Spaltenvektor und  eine ()-Matrix sind.

 hat dann den Erwartungswertvektor

und die Kovarianzmatrix
.

Speziell gilt: Ist  -dimensional normalverteilt, so ist  -dimensional normalverteilt mit den obigen Verteilungsparametern.

Beispiele
Die affine Transformation ist eine lineare Abbildungsmethode, bei der Punkte, gerade Linien, Geraden und Ebenen erhalten bleiben. Parallele Linien und Geraden bleiben nach einer affinen Transformation parallel.

Affine Transformationen wird typischerweise verwendet, um geometrische Verzerrungen oder Verformungen zu korrigieren, die bei nicht idealen Kamerawinkeln auftreten. Beispielsweise verwenden Satellitenbilder affine Transformationen, um Verzerrungen von Weitwinkelobjektiven, Panoramabildern und Bildregistrierungen zu korrigieren. Das Transformieren und Verschmelzen der Bilder zu einem großen, flachen Koordinatensystem ist wünschenswert, um Verzerrungen zu vermeiden. Dies ermöglicht einfachere Interaktionen und Berechnungen, bei denen keine Bildverzerrung berücksichtigt werden muss.

Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die verschiedenen affinen Transformationen am Beispiel eines Schachbrettmusters: Identische Abbildung, Parallelverschiebung, Spiegelung, Skalierung, Drehung und Scherung:

Last weekend a group of leading musicians including Sir Simon Rattle, Rita Ora and Brian Eno sent an open letter to Theresa May warning her that the Brexit negotiations were sentencing the music industry to a "self-built cultural jail".
It's the kind of protest that sets Hadrian Garrard's teeth on edge.
"What annoys me is when the arts community does a campaign against Brexit and everyone in the arts agrees that it's one of the worst things ever, and they do a campaign, go on a march, do some posters, and they don't realise that no-one is listening except people that agree with them" says the founder of Create London, ten years old this month. "The arts do not represent the views of the British public. People that go to the arts are a minority."
Create London's mission is to change that, to find ways for artists to contribute to the lives of city dwellers, with a particular focus on London's East End. It is a product of the London Olympics planning, set up at first by Hackney Borough Council on behalf of the five boroughs that would be involved, which had such a profound effect on the area.
Hadrian Garrard was working in music programming for the Hackney Empire in 2007 when a job at Hackney Council came up creating a cultural strategy in the context of the forthcoming Olympics Games and the infrastructure change already under way in East London.
"We were looking at opportunities for residents in London, and culture was a big part of the narrative" he says. He brought together a lot of institutions and arts organisations, from the Whitechapel Art Gallery to the Theatre Royal Stratford East, and then the Barbican "which decided to look east instead of being embarrassed about not being in central London". Create is now an associate of the Barbican's where it is based, an independent charity and an Arts Council NPO, and its success is bringing other UK cities, such Manchester and Birmingham, for advice.
Create has worked with artists to create the likes of You Me Bum Bum Train, an early immersive theatre experiment; Station House Opera's international success Dominoes; and it gave the first commission into the Assemble co-operative, later to win the Turner Prize, to create Folly for a Flyover, a cinema under the A12 flyover at Hackney Wick built by 2,000 local volunteers over the summer of 2011.
Now Create has phased out the one-off arts projects for longer term programmes that put and keep artists in the communities, but it is an up-hill task. While the East End has Europe's largest cultural quarter with 14,000 artists living and working there, the East End also has some of the lowest community participation in culture.
But the major warning came easier this year with Panic! It's an arts emergency report commissioned by Create in association with the Barbican, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and involving three universities.
"The headlines from the report are very straightforward" Garrard says. "The arts and creative industries are the least representatives in terms of the British population than any other sector so you could say it's the most elitist. It is also the most left-leaning workforce of any industry, and in other ay the least socially mobile.
So those working in the arts are the least representative of the communities in which they operate of any sector, and it is one of the least inclusive – in museums and galleries just 2% of staff come from non-white, non-middle-class backgrounds. It has taken four years to complete, interviewing 3,000 worked in the sector, "and it's a very positively invasive piece of research – it's popping up on Al Jazeera News, for instance, in a report on Muslims in Bodyguard(the recent BBC TV thriller)". The Panic report is now with the Arts Council DCMS and many other agencies while dialogue continues on what to do about its findings.
But Create is having a profound effect. It was instrumental in encouraging the Olympic Park to be populated by major arts institutions, the V&A, Sadler's Wells and the Smithsonian, and now it is working with communities integrating the incomers and the residents. Garrard is also working closely with the mayor of London and his culture and regeneration departments.
Create Jobs was set up with A New Direction to tackle the high rate of youth unemployment in the East End, and works with 400 young people a year getting 100 of them into full-time, fully paid jobs in the creative industries.
Movements, Deals and Drinks was set up in 2014 by the commissioned artist Kathrin Böhm and her Myvillages collective, a scheme that took East Enders back to the Kent hop fields for the first time in half a century whereby they would harvest the hops and make and market beer. That year they produced 20,000 bottled drinks, and this week it and Böhm are serving at Frieze.
On the Beacontree Estate in Dagenham, with architects Apparata and support from ACE, the local council and charitable trusts, it has turned a derelict 18thcentury farmhouse into a new public space for arts and creative activity, with artists invited to live there to make art with people living locally. Six artists live there. hosting workshops, talks, dinners and events.
Blackhorse Workshop in Walthamstow is a "public place for making, mending and learning", a social working environment with a programme of classes and activities, and it now self-supporting.
And Create has just received planning permission for A House for Artists in Barking Town Centre. Also supported by the mayor and involving the artist Grayson Perry, the development – also designed by Apparata - is 12 permanent artists' homes. Residents will be selected in the new year and the building will open in 2020.
"We want to create a way for artists to stay in a place for their whole lives, to bring up families in a city" Garrard says "but in a very clear exchange: we're asking each resident to contribute half a day a week to the community, providing much needed social space to local residents in Barking in town centre.
The value of the creative industries to the economy is well-known, but the value of artists to our communities is barely exploited. The alienation of working communities like Barking's that feel neglected by government has, Garrard believes, led to the bitter Brexit situation. The influence of artists as part of those communities could help heal that sense of alienation.


The Spanish Trail Playhouse was initially founded in 1962. It began under the leadership of local community members Ann Jensen, Howard Pelham, Mickey Balaban, and Ralph Nolan, who had a dream of bringing live theatre into the town of Chipley, Florida. The group decided upon three plays per year, and on September 7, 1962 the Spanish Trail Playhouse opened its curtains for the first time with Southern Exposure, a 1950's romantic comedy, under the direction of Mickey Balaban. The second show was The New Moon, amusical by Sigmund Romberg, under the direction of Ralph Nolan followed by the final show for the first season, Dial M For Murder.
The Florida Arts Council recognized, following two successful seasons, the Spanish Trail Playhouse in 1964 as a Charter Member, a position they would hold for the next four years. Over these years, the Spanish Trail Playhouse presented a variety of successful shows, including Show Boat, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Arsenic and Old Lace. The Spanish Trail Playhouse ran for seven very successful years after that, but following the final performance of The Sound of Music, the playhouse closed its curtains for what many thought to be the last time in fall of 1968.
In August 2006, under the leadership of Kevin Russell, work began to bring the Spanish Trail Playhouse back to Washington County and its citizens. The Spanish Trail Playhouse became incorporated through the state of Florida on April 8, 2007. On September 5, 2008, merely one year since its reestablishment, the Spanish Trail Playhouse officially opened its curtain again, with a 3-day performance of Steel Magnolias, and has held successful seasons since.

Should a Mechanical Design Engineer know everything about everything?
Discussion in 'The main mechanical design forum' started by Archimedes, Apr 26, 2012.
I have worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer for a few companies of various sizes in a few different industries. In most of the jobs the same thing happens, I am approached with a design brief and proposed project plan, I review the spec and get on with it the job. Then during the design, issues come up that were missed off the brief (or only discovered during development) such as an electronic control panel would be needed, or maybe some ventilation fans are required, or the supports need some FEA, or the base material is changed from steel to a recycled plastic. Most of which might require a bit of reading, brushing up on the necessary calculations or processes required and there is never any time allowed in the project for additional training. It is always just assumed that the technical department knows everything.
Are you expected to be the expert on everything such as electronics, FEA, material science, manufacturing strategy, fluid and thermodynamics, control systems, 2D & 3D CAD, fault finding, design, aesthetics etc?
In your opinion should you be to be an expert in all of those subjects?
Is it ever acceptable to tell the boss/customer that you would have to do some research before completing the project?
I don't think we can every know it all.
2.In your opinion should you be to be an expert in all of those subjects?
I've been a mechanical engineer within a electrical machinery service company for 14 years and gone from gradate clanky to design manager - and I know a lot about electrical machine design and repair, including all sorts of diverse fields.
but, I don't know it all. But I do know what the consequences are of getting wrong and that's why I have design team with strengths in different areas; electrical synchronous, induction, DC, Draughting and so on. and when we don't know, we go outside and bring in consultants; the trick then is know enough to find one that actually knows something and not less than us !
3.Is it ever acceptable to tell the boss/customer that you would have to do some research before completing the project?
no, and it is always worth researching properly - just cause it is on wikipedia doesn't mean it is right, multiple independent sources.
I agree with tony. You don't have to an expert in everything. Anyone can't to be expert in everything and we don't have much energy to do everything. Of course, the boss hope you are expert in everything.
1, 2. You can't ever expect to be an expert in everything. Unless you work in a very narrow field, and engineer has to be a generalist... an expert, more or less, in his specific field, and a working knowledge (which is often just a knowledge of where to look for the answers) in the other related fields.
3. Absolutely. Better to say, "I don't know but I'll find out," than to look a fool when they find out you don't really know what you're talking about.
4. Just as no one engineer can know it all, no one source has all the information. Wikipedia is at best a good general overview of a subject, and at worst grossly wrong. Wikipedia is a good place to start a search... and a very bad place to finish a search. As you gain experience, it becomes easier to judge the quality of information.
You don't need to know everything at all times, but you do need to know what your limitations are and know where *and how* to look for answers.
Never lie to a client. If you don't know, admit it. Try to never be put in that position by aggressively seeking answers and background ahead of time.
Single sourcing any information is dangerous. When researching my book, I found all kinds of errors on the web, and even in books. Try to always find at least two references for any fact before trusting it.
It's interesting to hear people thoughts on this. It sounds like the general opinion is that nobody should or could 'know everything about everything', which I would agree with.
I thought there were going to be lots of posts from people saying that they believe companies expect the technical department to have too diverse technical capabilities within a very small team. Maybe most engineers have a clear set of guidelines detailing what is expected of them and it is rare that they have to deviate from this list of expertise.
I think most people are expected to wear a lot of hats, but in this connected age the engineer is more likely to seek expert assistance from vendors and consultants rather than be an expert at all things. I think the results are better this way, as well.
My situation is a little unique in that I am a "one-man-band" and act as a consulting engineer to a number of smaller (primarily automotive product) companies who do not have their own engineering in-house, or who need it supplemented.
So, being a one-stop-shop for design, visualization (pretty renders), electrical, electronic, software, FEA, production techniques, costing, etc. is key to my ability to bring in work. That said, I preach to clients, contemporaries, students, mentors, and anybody else who will listen (and many who do not) that THE MOST IMPORTANT skill a good engineer can have is knowing when to say "I don't know, but I will find out."
I routinely involve people smarter and/or more experienced than myself to guide, confirm, or refute my ideas and several times it has saved me a lot of time and headache up front. Other times, as we all know, even all the knowledge and experience in the world is not a guarantee of success. Sometimes you just gotta try it out before you will know for sure.
Only bad engineers think they know everything. Good engineers keep learning though, and they are also wise to ask others for advice.
Your company doesn't have time to do do it right, but they have the time and money to live with the consequences?
Realistically, projects have finite schedules. Work with Your Team/Manager and Project Management to make a plan you all can can believe in.
1.Are you expected to be the expert on everything such as electronics, FEA, material science, manufacturing strategy, fluid and thermodynamics, control systems, 2D & 3D CAD, fault finding, design, aesthetics etc?
Yes, absolutely. Those are the subjects I studied in school exactly. (Well, not the last one, but my Dad was an art teacher.) Isn't it great they thought to teach me all that?
2. In your opinion should you be to be an expert in all of those subjects?
No, of course not. But I am expected to do the work even though I am not an expert. I make mistakes, and learn from the fixing of them. If there is danger involved I devise testing until I am satisfied that safety is achieved. I keep managers abreast of the situation with sometimes brutal honesty. Then I soldier on. If it was easy or someone had done it before the work would be far less interesting and valuable.
3. Is it ever acceptable to tell the boss/customer that you would have to do some research before completing the project?
Is it ever acceptable to NOT tell them when it IS necessary to do research? They are counting on you to keep them informed or they are fools and you should go elsewhere.
You trust Wikipedia? You are an engineer. You are expected to be successful even without all the answers. If you must you copy success, or over design, or sacrifice on or two of the design trinity: Quality, Speed, Cost.
Seriously, isn't this wonderful? Really interesting problems to solve! Including not having all the right tools (resourcefulness is the substitute), not all the right materials, not enough time or people (diplomacy, imagination, broad view, planning skills, people skills), never been done before. (Why would you want it any other way? You could be a draftsman or an assembler, nah.) These are after all just problems that always exist and always must be solved, so embrace them.
This is life, such is life. Keep your chin up. Take care of yourself. Cultivate rewarding relationships. Minimize negative relationships. Be helpful and kind. Enjoy yourself. I am still being serious. This is not sarcasm or irony. Your enjoyment is totally a product of your own mind, it is no one's fault or responsibility but your own.

As part of my research for my final year project at Plymouth University, I contacted the Plymouth Archaeological Society to see if their members had any suggestions for heritage sites that might potentially be appropriate for photogrammetry and digital restoration.
A member of the Society suggested the now derelict saw mill that stands at the head of Waterhead Creek near South Pool in Devon. I was also advised that the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum held archive photographs of the mill when it was a going concern. Today, I decided to investigate further.
Some photos from the now overgrown and derelict saw mill site.
The lack of detailed photographs makes a digital restoration challenging. However, the staff at the museum provided me with the details of the Devon Rural Archive where there may be further material available – a visit for another day.


Home/Committee Blog, Fishing Reports/Catch Returns – Update.
The cut off date for members to submit their annual catch return was 30 November. Many thanks to those who have sent these in already, however more than 170 members have still to submit. This shows distinct apathy on the part of some. This year's return will a form part of the data used by Marine Scotland to assess our Conservation Category for season 2020 so it is imperative that very salmon caught on our system is recorded. Nil Returns are also required.
5(b) Association full members who do not submit a catch return 30 days after the end of the season, i.e. 30 November, may be charged an administration fee on top of the annual membership subscription in the following season, if deemed appropriate by the committee.
This 'annual problem' is clearly unacceptable and at this week's committee meeting an appropriate fee will be decided and also what further action can be taken. The Association have a legal obligation to forward our membership's returns to Marine Scotland and can be fined for failure.
The problem of non submission was discussed at the past two AGM's. There has been plenty of publicity on the issue and it was hoped that members would realise the importance. While we don't wish to introduce a financial burden it seems to be going that way. Members renewing membership should also submit their return beforehand.
In the meantime the closing date will be extended by a further two weeks viz: Monday 17th December. The completed return and accompanying paperwork must be collated and transmitted to Marine Scotland by 31 December.
Forms with return addressed envelopes have been sent out to all members. Additional forms are available at Voldac and O'Briens shop and can be deposited in the boxes within O'Briens or on the railings opposite Voldac.
Last season we managed an 86% return rate. Still a good bit to go…..

The McCarrick Report Is Worse Than We Thought
Declan Leary
The professed intent of the McCarrick Report, released yesterday after much delay, is to shed some light on just how this man managed to rise to such status and power within the Church, all while his habit of sexual abuse were known to so many of his brother-bishops. In another time, in other circumstances, that might have been a worthwhile endeavor. But in 2020 just about any sensible observer can conclude, without reading a word of the report, that no explanation is necessary. There are no surprises here.
The real, dramatic moral rot is relatively rare. Men like McCarrick are the epicenter of such crises, but they are not the bulk of them. It's the secondary sins that are significant to us, because these are the ones that are institutional—that speak to the ill health of our Church more than the evil of one man. McCarrick's allies lying to one pope to protect one of their own. That pope's refusal to believe, even in the face of evidence. The next pope's failure to take decisive action. The McCarrick story is as much about the weakness of our leaders, and about a corrosive kind of in-group loyalty among them—I refuse to call it "clericalism," but it's something like what people mean by that term, on the occasions that it's used in good faith—as it is about abuse.
This is no great revelation. This is the Church we have come to know.
McCarrick's misdeeds became public knowledge over two years ago. They were private knowledge in certain circles—a sort of open secret—since before I was born. Yet the Vatican's heel-dragging on the release of the report has kept the scandal very much alive up through the present day. While he had mostly faded from the public eye after his laicization in February of last year, the highly anticipated report has given the story a second life of sorts. This revival has made it so that the McCarrick scandal overlaps with yet another tale of curial misdeeds: the ongoing imbroglio in the Secretariat of State, centered on a troubling real-estate deal made last year, which seems to be approaching a climax.
It's no mere coincidence that these two stories come to us at the same time. It's a matter of course: the same institutions that enabled Theodore McCarrick also enabled Giovanni Cardinal Becciu. Powerful forces (or, rather, very weak forces) allow evil to rise like smoke to the utmost heights of the Church. That evil runs the gamut, from material greed to sexual abuse.
There will always be bad men who seek power for ill. In McCarrick's case, it's apparent that power for him was a means to sexual exploitation. In Becciu's, it seems that power was a gateway to wealth and influence. In both cases, the men were protected and promoted by a host of others apparently driven far more by apathy than malice.
In the scandal at the Secretariat of State, for instance, Monsignor Mauro Carlino has just responded through a lawyer last week to charges on his involvement. Monsignor Carlino was one of five officials suspended last fall after a raid on the Secretariat's offices. One of a number of half-hearted excuses provided by the Monsignor's lawyer is that negotiations on the deal had already been planned before Carlino was assigned to spearhead them. Is he then absolved of his involvement? Would we entertain this line for a second—that it's not his fault because he joined in after it started—on any matter of more dramatic moral substance? Will corruption be allowed to continue by sheer force of inertia?
It is to the Holy Father's credit that he has ordered all financial holdings transferred out of the Secretariat of State. This may prove key to limiting the massive power of the Vatican's most formidable organ. It may also help to check the ambitions of Cardinal Parolin, the current Secretary of State and erstwhile frontrunner to succeed Francis as supreme pontiff. Most of all, it has a chance of shaking up the tendency toward corruption that seems to have taken hold there, of breaking the inertia. But will it be successful? The recent history of popes' struggles with corruption does not bode well for Francis.
Cardinal Viganó's now-famous "testimony" on McCarrick was one of the first to reveal that the prelate's pattern of misconduct had been known for nearly as long as it had been going on. But such reports do not just implicate the usual suspects: one of the most troubling details was that Pope Benedict XVI had been aware, and while he tried to implement some sanctions against McCarrick, he seems not to have tried terribly hard.
Likewise, this latest report from the Vatican confirms the fears of many that John Paul II was aware of the allegations against McCarrick—and yet still gave him to the Archdiocese of Washington and elevated him to the Sacred College. According to the report, John Paul believed McCarrick's fellow New Jersey bishops when they swore that the allegations were false. Even when the late John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York, wrote to the pope insisting that the allegations disqualified McCarrick, John Paul refused to believe.
Soon after the big breaks in the McCarrick story back in 2018, I was back home in Massachusetts visiting with a young priest I knew well. He asked me how I felt, and the honest answer was that the revelation of abuse was not what hurt me most. The horrible truth is that Catholics of my generation are desensitized to it. I was not yet three years old when The Boston Globe began its famous coverage of the crisis in our diocese. The only Church I have ever known is one constantly plagued by scandal.
But what really wounded me, what really threatened my faith, was the realization that men I had always admired—John Paul and Benedict in particular—were tied up in it all. As time has gone on and more has come to light, the picture here has only worsened. John Paul could have done something. At the very least he could have neglected to advance McCarrick, to say nothing of punishment. But he didn't. This fundamental weakness, which clearly affects even our saints, is the major cause of the corruption in our Church—not the evil of men like McCarrick. Such men cannot do harm if they are not allowed to. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil…
It will not be easy for the faithful (myself included) to reckon with the fact that a man of such terrible strength was also a man of such terrible weakness. There is no rationalizing that. There is no way to work through it, no way to explain it and move forward. That is the great tragedy here for the Church at large—though it does not, of course, outweigh the tragedies of the immediate victims.
No small number of our leaders seem unwilling to meet the challenges we face. That a number of bishops would vouch for McCarrick attests to this unhappy truth. But even those few who are willing, and even those fewer who are truly great—such men as can literally tear down the great powers of the world—seem not to have strength enough to do so. For proof of that we can look to John Paul and to Cardinal Pell: the one who failed to face the reality, and the other who tried, only to be met by vicious persecution.
Such horrible reality can only be met by faith. We know that the Church will prevail, we must believe that it will, the Lord told us that it will. Here I borrow from William F. Buckley, on a matter much less grave: "But to suppose that it will is the most difficult act of faith I have ever been called upon to make, because it tears against the perceptions of all my senses."

While Kojima Productions made clear their 30 minute gameplay demonstration at E3 will take place behind closed doors, it looks like IGN has something to show next Thursday.
In their schedule of live game demos, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is listed on June 12th, at 5:20 PM PT.
Wether this is the same area as the one in the 30 minute play through or something else, is not clear at this point.

Q: Is it possible to have a label display text from the current active textbox? I am making a C# Windows Form project in Visual Studio 2019. I currently have 40 textboxes that users have to fill in. These textboxes are quite small, which is why at the top of the program I created a large label. I was wondering if it's possible in C# to display the text from the active textbox that the user is filling in within this label box.
I'm not sure if this piece of information would have any baring on this process, but once the user fills in the correct information in the current said textbox, it automatically disables it and moves on to the next one.
So for an example:

Whenever the user enters anything in any of those textboxes, the active textbox text displays at the top (in the label).

A: In your form's constructor, add event handlers for the TextChanged and Enter events of all your TextBoxes. It should look something like this:
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    foreach (var textBox in this.Controls.OfType<TextBox>())
    {
        textBox.TextChanged += TextBoxes_TextChanged;
        textBox.Enter += TextBoxes_TextChanged;
    }
}

Note that this.Controls.OfType<TextBox>() will only work if the TextBoxes are placed directly on the form. If they're placed in another container (e.g., GroupBox or Panel), you may use the following instead:
theOtherContainer.Controls.OfType<TextBox>()

Then, you can change the Label's text using the following event handler:
private void TextBoxes_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var textBox = (TextBox)sender;
    label1.Text = textBox.Text;
}

You could also add event handlers for the Leave event in order to clear the text when the cursor leaves a certain TextBox. To do that, just add the following line in the foreach loop above:
textBox.Leave += (o, e) =>  label1.Text = string.Empty;

A: You can use the TextChanged event to accomplish this. The first parameter will be the TextBox which fired the event, so you can cast it from an object to a TextBox.
private void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TextBox txt = sender as TextBox;
    label.Text = txt.Text;
}

You can use the designer to hook up all of your TextBox instances to that one event by selecting them all at once then going to the event page of their properties window.
You can use the same event handler and the Enter event so that when you enter the next TextBox the Label changes.
One thing to be aware of with this approach is that TextChanged will trigger for anything that causes the TextBox.Text to change, and not just keyboard inputs.
